Letter: Estrogen therapy has risks

Editor: Should we so simply bow out and say, "Gee I'm sorry, it's just one of those things?" Should we wonder how many dying women had heard that before?

The fact that millions upon millions of healthy women who have been taking her hormone steroid drugs since 1942, then on July 2002 or 60 years later, the National Institute of Health publicly announces that within only five years of a drug study (with no explanation as to why a most urgent drug study had been put-off six decades late), finally disclose the truth that her steroid drugs are also the cause of horrific fatal risks, including invasive cancer, stroke and heart disease.

In other words, the FDA law to prove drug risk/benefit ratio, prior to drug approval never existed, was never encouraged and was never enforced, unbeknownst to millions upon millions of once healthy women.

It is far past due to put this drug-disaster into prospective by realizing that millions of healthy women have been simply and routinely buying her hormone steroid drugs for good health and for preventing disease by swallowing the exact drugs that can cause bad health and that cause fatal disease.

As for the whopping past six decades, or 60 long years, women have been encouraged to monetarily enrich her hormone steroid drug pharmaceutical corporation in spite of unproven drug benefits and unproven drug safety. Look carefully at this example -- millions of healthy women are persuaded to take her steroid drugs, as told to prevent disease. Instead women have purchased fatal disease. Death is a cure for preventative disease.

When women die from heart disease, invasive cancer and/or stroke, never does a woman's death certificate list her death as being caused by the fatal risks of ingesting her hormone drugs. As a better example, with the highest cause of female death being heart disease, (second is breast cancer), women have especially been drug industry educated to buy her hormone drugs for preventative heart disease, and as she dies, her death certificate states cause of death being heart disease, ignoring the fact that prescribed female hormone steroid drugs caused her heart disease, stroke and/or caused her invasive cancer.

Behind the doors of corporate female hormone drug industry wealth, what is in truth hormone steroid toxic and carcinogenic drugs, simply disguised as replacement therapy, prescribed with the promise of female longevity, is the 60-year reality of incalculable premature demise of once healthy women. Who's counting the deaths? No one. There are no numbers, no faces, no outrage due to unnecessary suffering, only the silence of unacknowledged death due to corporate chemical drug disaster. Oh well.

While our minds are infiltrated with international terrorists, and especially the tragedies we witness with our eyes -- the explosions, the blood, the gore of human bodies -- it is too easy for us all to overlook the silence of human bodies exploding within, diseased with drug-caused invasive cancers, heart disease, stroke. And the fat American female steroid pharmaceutical corporations march on.

What is the true definition of a perfect crime?

Should there be no pharmaceutical or DA consequences? Should we do nothing?
